description

Uterine corpus and cervical cancers are showing, in the last decades, increasing incidence and mortality in industrialized and developing countries, respectively; on the other hand, innovative therapeutic strategies are emerging for the management of advanced gynecological malignancies. Risk factors and predisposing conditions are widely and continually studied; thus, prevention, through lifestyle correction and/or validated screening tests, could represent a promising tool to diagnose earlier and reduce mortality of uterine cancers. Herein, management of endometrial and cervical tumors from diagnosis to commonly applied standards of care and experimental frontiers are depicted so as to profile gynecological cancers in personalized medicine era.
